Getting the wife to look hot :)

I don't have the time to look up the reference right now, but if I remember correctly...fruit is fine. Those GI numbers are based on 50grams of carbs which means a boatload of fruit, more than anyone would normally consume. I'm not entirely sure but I know the answer is definitely in the Glycemic Index thread.

Here you go Kane, I think this is what you're talking about:

Keep in mind fruit generally contains 6-7 gms of fructose. That means it would take a bunch of fruit to get 50 gms of fructose. The high consumption of fructose seen in most studies is generally due to the consumption of high levels of high fructose corn syrup (processing where varying portions of glucose are converted to fructose). Another consideration is fructose causes minimal insulin secretion. Even if fructose consumption was high enough to elevate fat synthesis lack of insulin would probably result in increased fat oxidation. Assuming calorie deficit it probably all evens itself out at the end of the day. Eat fruit - it's nutritious and generally low in calories.

Good memory, Kane. BTW, guys, don't forget guiero's other thread. I don't want my advice to backfire on him

Thanks Kane, Eric3237. I will be sure she includes some fruit on her diet ( I will be on mine also )

Thanks
